Alright, so I've made a user and a group using dscl as follows:
dscl . -create /Users/deadline dscl . -create /Groups/deadline dscl . -append /Groups/deadline GroupMembership deadline
Now I'm trying to chown things like so:
mkdir /tmp/stuff chown deadline:deadline /tmp/stuff
But the problem is that it sets the user and group to nobody instead of this user 'deadline'. What magic voodoo property do I need to add to the user and group to have it set the unix permissions properly?
Also, why must Apple hate me and my Unix background :(
